A group of people soon arrived at the governor's yamen. At this time, many people had already gathered. The officials were all furious and arguing in full swing. They were all discussing what to do.The war came too abruptly and violently, so they were not prepared at all.
According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the city is alive and the city is dead. They don't want to die, and they don't want to go to battle to kill the enemy.
The governor's face was as deep as water, which gave everyone a bit of confidence. They looked at the governor expectantly, waiting for him to make a decision, and hoped that the governor could come up with a good plan.
Someone made a suggestion: "The common people need to be appeased, otherwise the consequences of the chaos will be disastrous."
There are also people who are worried, and they don't know whether they are worried about themselves or the people: "The street is already in chaos, and we must send people to maintain order."
"Now that there's just chaos outside, we must come up with countermeasures."
"Some people have already started to flee at the gate of the city."
"When will the rescuers arrive?"
"What if the Qiang people call over?"
Everyone was chattering, and their mouths were bubbling anxiously. Mr. Wang said fiercely: "I want to send my family away first."
With his beginning, the rest of the people immediately began to think about how to protect their families. As for resisting the enemy, who cares about the common people.
Li Yaonan watched with cold eyes, all the last bit of guilt was wiped out, it really is that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, such an official deserves death.
There are also a few people who are very silent, their official positions are not high, and their faces show anger, but dare not speak out, Li Yaonan carefully keeps people in mind, if he wants to achieve something, he must have his right hand, and he looked at Master Huang with disgust , maybe he can use it too.It is true that a person's character can only be seen in times of crisis.
All the officials, you and I have said enough. They all looked at the governor expectantly. Only the governor has soldiers and horses in his hands. Although there are not many guards, only [-] guards, it is enough to calm people's hearts.
The governor did not disappoint everyone, and calmed down the emotions of all the officials with a light sentence: "The chief soldier will arrive soon, and I have sent a letter to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Don't worry, everyone, the Qiang people can't fight."
"That's good." Master Liu showed joy, and Master Zhang also heaved a sigh of relief.
Mr. Wang is still planning in his heart, and wants to send his family out as soon as possible.
Master Huang said righteously: "When will the city gate be closed, what will the people do? What about the food? How much food is there in Dali now, please make up your mind."
Li Yaonan was quite surprised, he did not expect Master Huang to have such courage.
The governor glanced at him lightly: "This is..."
Lord Mao hurriedly apologized: "He is the governor of the lower court, and his brain is not very good. Please forgive me."
Lord Yang and Lord Li agreed one after another: "What Lord Mao said is true, and everyone in our yamen knows about it."
Master Huang felt very wronged, why every time he gave advice, he would always be ignored by others, but this time he was slandered as having a brain problem, he looked at Master Li with aggrievedness, hoping that he could speak a fair word.
Master Huang thought that although Master Li had a bad temper, he was definitely a good official who was dedicated to serving the people.Even if he hit a wall repeatedly, he still couldn't stop him from worshiping Master Li, especially when he saw Master Li beheading the magistrate of Huayang County, the admiration in Master Huang's heart was like the flood of the Yellow River, which was out of control.
"What do you want to say, Mr. Li?" The governor's face was gloomy, and his tone was not very good.
Li Yaonan felt that he was lying on the ground, so he quickly retracted the slight change of Master Huang just now. He is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. What do you adults think?"
Li Yaonan decided to bring disaster to the east. Food is related to people's livelihood, and it is even more related to the survival of everyone. He is not afraid that the officials will not agree.
Master Liu nodded quickly: "Yes, the border has already started a war, and there will be a shortage of food, so we must count it as soon as possible."
Master Zhang's heart tightened, and he continued: "There are [-] guards at the city gate. If there is not enough food, should we go to the people to collect it?"
Li Yaonan gave him a cold look, feeling annoyed in his heart: "Let's count the food before we talk, you think the people are not chaotic enough?"
Master Zhang's face darkened: "Are you responsible for the lack of food?"
Li Yaonan moved his lips: "You are responsible for the chaos of the people? What benefits did the Qiang people give you to make you do your best? The people are in chaos, and the Qiang people take advantage of the situation. What are your intentions, Mr. Zhang?"
"You..." Mr. Zhang blushed with anger.
The governor said indifferently: "Master Li is very eloquent."
Li Yaonan cupped his hands and smiled: "My lord, thank you."
The governor glanced at him casually: "Since that's the case, the common people will entrust Mr. Li to appease you. If there is a problem, I will only ask you."
Li Yaonan bowed and saluted: "The next official accepts orders."
The governor stopped looking at him, comforted the officials a few words so that they don't have to worry, and then sent everyone back to wait for news.
Master Huang's eyes were shining brightly, he just felt that Master Li was so mighty just now, just as he was about to take a few steps forward, he was stopped by Li Yaonan's cold eyes, biting a small handkerchief in his heart, why Master Li is always so cruel and sincere to him Remarks.
After getting rid of a plague god, Li Yaonan quickly returned home and called all the guards, except for ten who stayed behind, the rest went out with him.
Li Yaonan put on his official uniform, his face was solemn, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows.Looking in the mirror, Li Yaonan gave his expression a perfect score. Li Yaonan waved his hand, his whole body was high-spirited: "Let's go to the yamen."
The guard was startled by his master's expression, and his nervous mood relaxed.
Li Yaonan led a group of people, and stood at the gate of the yamen and gave a loud speech. The calm voice was neither fast nor slow, without words of comfort, nor any promises. There was a touch of sadness in the air. Li Yaonan only told everyone that war was coming. The way to deal with it is to hide the food well, not just put it in a basket, the hiding place must be safe, and the elderly and children at home must be protected. The strong men can dig traps and set up ambushes.
As time went by, more and more people listened to the lecture. Such unpretentious language is more reassuring than any empty promises.
The common people listened very carefully, Li Yaonan explained very carefully, and occasionally used an analogy with everyone, if you encounter an enemy, don't resist stubbornly, how to deceive others, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop by being caught off guard.The young men who heard it were excited, and the old people praised it one after another.
The tense atmosphere gradually eased. There is no one who does not love his hometown. If there is a modern person here, he will definitely understand Li Yaonan's intentions. He is simply bewitching.
Li Yaonan spoke for three days in a row, his mouth was parched. The audience below, from the court officials to the common people, all listened carefully, and several officials took out their pens and ink to record them one by one.
Of course, there were even more people who didn't think so, anxiously settling down with the family and preparing to leave at any time. Li Yaonan kept a record of the attitudes of all the officials, and felt a little relieved, at least not all Yunnan officials were loungers.
On the fourth day, news came from Fengshan that the Qiang people had approached the city, but the rescuers had not yet arrived. Fengshan could only hold on for two days. If the governor did not bring troops to come, Fengshan would soon be lost.
The governor's mansion was full of gloom and gloom. As the pillar of Yunnan, all the officials rushed to visit, putting all their hopes on the governor, and only hoped that he could tell everyone a surprising answer.
On the fifth day, the city of Fengshan was destroyed, and the people who had fled were dressed in rags and looked desolate. They lost their loved ones and their homes. They howled and cried, and felt extremely painful.
Li Yaonan closed his eyes, and his heart became heavy. He grew up in a peaceful age in his previous life. He had never seen war, nor experienced the cruelty of war. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. right or wrong.
Erwazi is 13 years old this year. His father and mother died under the sword of the enemy to let him escape. When they came to a safe place, they saw the parents of the people and cried out of breath: "Master Li, you are the master of Qingtian. It must be for us."
Li Yaonan's reputation is very good, not to mention Yuxi's three years, and in the past few months last year, he was praised by many people. The people in Fengshan saw him as if they were seeing a savior, but when they faced other officials, they glared and hated him. His eyes were undisguised.
After Li Yaonan asked, he found out that the prefect of Fengshan was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he didn't resist, and opened the city gate to let the Qiang people go.
Li Yaonan felt great hatred in his heart, the emotion just now was wiped out in ashes in an instant, he was not wrong, the so-called indestructible, Yunnan has decayed from the inside, if the torso is not uprooted, the loss will only be more severe.
More than [-] people escaped from Fengshan, and Li Yaonan handed them over to Fu Lang, asking him to find a way to settle down.
Lin Yixuan took over the tasks assigned by her husband very cautiously, arranged them in a villa outside the city, and imitated her husband, brainwashing everyone every day, arousing their feelings of revenge.
The atmosphere in Dali became more and more tense, and there was no news of the rescuers. The officials began to pack their bags and fled privately with them in twos and threes.
Finally one morning, an official visiting the governor found that the governor's house was empty.
A small number of officials showed sarcasm, as if it was expected, and most officials felt that the sky was falling, and the people were not in chaos, but the officials were the first to be in chaos.
Li Yaonan immediately ordered to block the news, and no one was allowed to publicize the matter. Once the governor escaped, the governor would definitely take action. He had arranged for so long, and would never allow others to preempt him. This time he not only wanted to grab the governor's For credit, the governor must be wiped out, so that he can steal chickens and lose money. Such a selfish governor, what use is he.
Li Yaonan gathered the people and gave a loud and impassioned speech: "The Qiang people have already attacked Fengshan, killed, burned, and looted in Fengshan. When they collect enough food and gold and silver treasures, they will definitely attack Nanquan in the next battle. What about after Nanquan?" , have you thought about it?"
Li Yaonan looked at everyone with a serious expression, and without waiting for their reply, he continued: "Yes, it is Dali, they will definitely attack Dali, have you thought about what to do? Do you stand here and wait for death, or do you rely on meager strength? , wanting to resist the [-] Qiang army."
The people were at a loss and didn't know what to do. Lord Li taught them how to resist the enemy and how to save their lives. Isn't this useless?
"Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs, Nanquan is not guaranteed, how can Dali survive, I don't want what happened in Fengshan to happen again, I decided to take people to Nanquan in person, I swear, the city is alive, the city is dead , swear to the death to defend the people of Yunnan.”
"Okay! Master Li, I support you, and I want to do my best, so please lead me to go." Master Huang immediately shouted excitedly.
The corners of Li Yaonan's lips twitched, he was too lazy to look at him, and continued to stare at the people below: "Do you have any ideas? This officer's life and death in Nanquan are unpredictable, and I don't force everyone, but I will do my best to defend one homeland What about you? Do you want to go to battle to kill the enemy, do you want to take revenge, do you want to go with me to kill him, say it out loud."
"Thought—" Master Huang replied with a tearing voice, his emotions were uncontrollable, and he looked like he wanted to kill all the Qiang people in the world, a bit like a little angry youth.
Li Yaonan didn't want to see him at first, but Mr. Huang's agreement was not useless. His emotions infected others, and a young man from Fengshan stood up, with red eyes, and said loudly: "I want to go to battle to kill the enemy, I want to kill the enemy. Avenge my parents."
"I want to go too, I want to defend my homeland."
"And I."
Master Huang's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he raised his hand and shouted: "Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
Another person was full of pride and shouted loudly: "Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
"Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
The hearts of the people were surging, from panic, to bewilderment, to the current high fighting spirit. Suddenly, the shouts inside and outside the yamen shook the sky.
Satisfied in his heart, Li Yaonan said a few more high-sounding words, promising to live and die with everyone, and then he assigned an official to register the people who voluntarily went to Nanquan, and prepared to leave early the morning after tomorrow.
As for Mr. Huang, Li Yaonan had another mission, asking him to get food.
Master Huang was very excited, Master Li was finally willing to believe in him, and he swore that he would complete the task.
Li Yaonan nodded and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, expressing that everything depended on him.
Master Huang held his chest up and raised his head, with a serious look on his face, suddenly feeling the heavy responsibility on his body.
Li Yaonan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a way to deal with the mentally disabled, and her husband was also left in Dali by him, Lin Yixuan was full of dissatisfaction, but the husband had no connections in Dali, and the logistics could not be counted on by the government. If he did not stay in Dali, Dali If something goes wrong and the gain outweighs the loss, I can only agree to it reluctantly.
Li Yaonan was about to go to Nanquan, but Dali's officials went there overnight. Many people laughed at Li Yaonan's stupidity, but no one really admired him.
Li Yaonan was expressionless, no matter what their character was among the remaining officials, if they could stay and perform the duties of an official, Li Yaonan decided to trust them.
After explaining the matter in Dali clearly, Li Yaonan led 3000 troops to set off early the next morning, encouraging them all the way, and even giving them some tips on how to kill the enemy during the break.
When I came to Nanquan, there was desolation everywhere, the streets were in a mess, and there were still people looting and looting houses in broad daylight. The enemy army did not come, but the people were already in chaos.
Li Yaonan frowned, immediately revealed his identity, and wanted to see the magistrate of Nanquan County.
When the soldiers at the city gate saw them, they were overjoyed and left with desolation. They thought it was the arrival of rescue soldiers, but they turned out to be a team formed by a group of ordinary people.
The magistrate of Nanquan County came out to welcome him, his eyes were red from the heat, his hair was half gray in his forties: "Your Majesty, I have seen Master Li."
"Your Majesty Yang, you don't need to be too polite. How is the situation now?" Li Yaonan got off his horse and bowed his hands in return.
Master Yang smiled wryly, with deep exhaustion on his face: "The Qiang tribe attacked once last night, and it is not expected to be so fast today, so why did Master Li come here?"
Li Yaonan's righteousness is awe-inspiring: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. As an official of the imperial court, how can I ignore it."
Master Yang took a deep look at him: "Nanquan food can last for half a month, but the Qiang people's offensive is fierce, I'm afraid it won't last until tomorrow night."
Li Yaonan frowned, and said calmly: "Take me to take a look first, and besides, the people in the city should be comforted." Turning to look at Sun Ruisi: "You can handle this matter, remember to take some Fengshan people with you."
Sun Ruisi understood: "Yes, my lord." Only the people of Fengshan can make the people of Nanquan share the same hatred and unite them. The power of the people cannot be underestimated. One and a half days is not a problem.
Master Yang took the lead and led Li Yaonan up the city wall. The soldiers staggered to and fro and rested in the gaps.
Li Yaonan stood on the city wall, looking at the huge camp in the distance: "When do they usually attack?"
"Not necessarily, sometimes at night, sometimes at noon, there are five thousand guards in Nanquan, and now there are only more than three thousand guards left, I'm just afraid..." Master Yang said with tears in his eyes.
Li Yaonan spared no effort to smear the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and said calmly: "Lord Yang, there is no need to be like this. The brother-in-law of the next official is the capital of Yizhou. He will definitely come to rescue in a few days, and the Southeast Army will also arrive in a few days."
Lord Yang’s lips trembled, how could he not understand the meaning of Lord Li, the governor does not send troops, he can only ask for help from the Southeast Army, the people of Yunnan are also the people of the Jin Dynasty, why did it become like this, the governor is a disaster, the governor supports his own troops, even if there are people So what if he came to the rescue, he didn't know if Nanquan could last until then.
"It's definitely possible." Li Yaonan said firmly.
Master Yang didn't speak anymore, he knew that Master Li was a good official, but a good official doesn't mean that he can lead troops to fight, it doesn't mean that 3000 troops in the city can resist the enemy's [-] troops, and another [-] troops will come later Otherwise, he might not be able to hold on for two days.
Li Yaonan quickly began to make arrangements. Some of the soldiers on the city wall stayed behind and some went to rest. Only when they had enough energy could they kill the enemy, and the 3000 troops he brought just happened to replace the exhausted soldiers.
It's a pity that God doesn't give them any buffer time, and everything is not ready yet...
"Woo—" A horn sounded in the distance.
Master Yang's face changed: "The Qiang people are going to attack the city."
Li Yaonan didn't dare to be sloppy at all, turned his head to look at the three thousand people he had brought, and said loudly: "Look, those people are going to destroy our homeland, what do you say?" The deep and powerful voice was inspiring .
"Fight to the end." The people shouted loudly.
"Kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
"Okay!" Li Yaonan smiled slightly, pointing to the faint black dots in the distance: "The Qiang people have already started to gather their troops, and they will attack soon. I hope that all the good guys in Yunnan will show me well."
"Yes!" The three thousand people have developed a habit these days, whenever Li Yaonan asks a question, they will definitely answer loudly.
"Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Killing one is enough money, killing two makes money, I'm not afraid."
"I'm not afraid either. My father and mother are dead, and I want revenge."
"I want to defend my homeland and my folks."
"Okay, now all the queues, stick to their posts."
"Yes!"
Following the loud and clear dialogue, the soldiers on the city gate seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and their expressions became more determined.
Master Yang was deeply admired, he was really ashamed of himself in the face of Master Li, a faint hope rose in his heart, with Master Li's help, could Nanquan be saved.
Li Yaonan's face was gloomy, and he calmly ordered: "Prepare me oil and spirits, the more the better, take them all to the city wall."
Master Yang was taken aback, why do you want those things.
Li Yaonan frowned: "Go quickly, Nanquan is your territory, send the things here quickly."
Master Yang didn't dare to delay, although he didn't understand what it meant, he thought that Master Li was a smart person and would never do useless work.
The dark Qiang army approached the city soon, Li Yaonan stared coldly ahead, and asked the soldiers beside him, "How long can we delay them?"
"A quarter of an hour at most."
Li Yaonan pondered for a moment: "Wait for now, after a while the spirits and oil will come, let me pour them all down, you should pay attention to attacking with fire."
The soldiers were puzzled, and some soldiers suddenly realized: "Oil is slippery, and wine is flammable."
A stern look flashed in Li Yaonan's eyes: "Let's spend time with them first, and go to the night raid tonight."
"Night attack——" The soldiers turned pale with shock, even the Qiang people's offensive could not be dealt with, Master Li actually wanted to attack at night.
Li Yaonan rubbed his temples and explained: "The best defense is to attack. It consumes their energy during the day and catches them by surprise at night."
The soldier's eyes lit up, and his whole body became energetic.
The Qiang people quickly attacked, and there was a lot of shouting and killing on the city wall. It was the first time Li Yaonan saw such a tragic scene. The shock in his heart was beyond words. One fell down, but there were no waves to rise.
The oil and spirits were delivered quickly, a cauldron was set up on the city wall, and the hot tung oil was poured down, causing screams from the enemy soldiers.
This battle lasted for a long time, and it was not until night that the Qiang people blew their drums and retreated.
"The enemy army has retreated, the enemy army has retreated." The soldiers shouted loudly and cheered excitedly.
This battle was not easy for them, but it was much better than the previous two days. After counting the number of people, only 320 people died.
Li Yaonan's heart trembled when he heard this, the soldiers' sad expressions were filled with smiles of survivors, this time very few people died, could they persevere until they survived.
According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the city is alive and the city is dead. They don't want to die, and they don't want to go to battle to kill the enemy.
The governor's face was as deep as water, which gave everyone a bit of confidence. They looked at the governor expectantly, waiting for him to make a decision, and hoped that the governor could come up with a good plan.
Someone made a suggestion: "The common people need to be appeased, otherwise the consequences of the chaos will be disastrous."
There are also people who are worried, and they don't know whether they are worried about themselves or the people: "The street is already in chaos, and we must send people to maintain order."
"Now that there's just chaos outside, we must come up with countermeasures."
"Some people have already started to flee at the gate of the city."
"When will the rescuers arrive?"
"What if the Qiang people call over?"
Everyone was chattering, and their mouths were bubbling anxiously. Mr. Wang said fiercely: "I want to send my family away first."
With his beginning, the rest of the people immediately began to think about how to protect their families. As for resisting the enemy, who cares about the common people.
Li Yaonan watched with cold eyes, all the last bit of guilt was wiped out, it really is that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, such an official deserves death.
There are also a few people who are very silent, their official positions are not high, and their faces show anger, but dare not speak out, Li Yaonan carefully keeps people in mind, if he wants to achieve something, he must have his right hand, and he looked at Master Huang with disgust , maybe he can use it too.It is true that a person's character can only be seen in times of crisis.
All the officials, you and I have said enough. They all looked at the governor expectantly. Only the governor has soldiers and horses in his hands. Although there are not many guards, only [-] guards, it is enough to calm people's hearts.
The governor did not disappoint everyone, and calmed down the emotions of all the officials with a light sentence: "The chief soldier will arrive soon, and I have sent a letter to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Don't worry, everyone, the Qiang people can't fight."
"That's good." Master Liu showed joy, and Master Zhang also heaved a sigh of relief.
Mr. Wang is still planning in his heart, and wants to send his family out as soon as possible.
Master Huang said righteously: "When will the city gate be closed, what will the people do? What about the food? How much food is there in Dali now, please make up your mind."
Li Yaonan was quite surprised, he did not expect Master Huang to have such courage.
The governor glanced at him lightly: "This is..."
Lord Mao hurriedly apologized: "He is the governor of the lower court, and his brain is not very good. Please forgive me."
Lord Yang and Lord Li agreed one after another: "What Lord Mao said is true, and everyone in our yamen knows about it."
Master Huang felt very wronged, why every time he gave advice, he would always be ignored by others, but this time he was slandered as having a brain problem, he looked at Master Li with aggrievedness, hoping that he could speak a fair word.

Li Yaonan decided to bring disaster to the east. Food is related to people's livelihood, and it is even more related to the survival of everyone. He is not afraid that the officials will not agree.
Master Liu nodded quickly: "Yes, the border has already started a war, and there will be a shortage of food, so we must count it as soon as possible."
Master Zhang's heart tightened, and he continued: "There are [-] guards at the city gate. If there is not enough food, should we go to the people to collect it?"

"You..." Mr. Zhang blushed with anger.
The governor said indifferently: "Master Li is very eloquent."
Li Yaonan cupped his hands and smiled: "My lord, thank you."
The governor glanced at him casually: "Since that's the case, the common people will entrust Mr. Li to appease you. If there is a problem, I will only ask you."
Li Yaonan bowed and saluted: "The next official accepts orders."
The governor stopped looking at him, comforted the officials a few words so that they don't have to worry, and then sent everyone back to wait for news.
Master Huang's eyes were shining brightly, he just felt that Master Li was so mighty just now, just as he was about to take a few steps forward, he was stopped by Li Yaonan's cold eyes, biting a small handkerchief in his heart, why Master Li is always so cruel and sincere to him Remarks.

As time went by, more and more people listened to the lecture. Such unpretentious language is more reassuring than any empty promises.
The common people listened very carefully, Li Yaonan explained very carefully, and occasionally used an analogy with everyone, if you encounter an enemy, don't resist stubbornly, how to deceive others, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop by being caught off guard.The young men who heard it were excited, and the old people praised it one after another.
The tense atmosphere gradually eased. There is no one who does not love his hometown. If there is a modern person here, he will definitely understand Li Yaonan's intentions. He is simply bewitching.
Li Yaonan spoke for three days in a row, his mouth was parched. The audience below, from the court officials to the common people, all listened carefully, and several officials took out their pens and ink to record them one by one.
Of course, there were even more people who didn't think so, anxiously settling down with the family and preparing to leave at any time. Li Yaonan kept a record of the attitudes of all the officials, and felt a little relieved, at least not all Yunnan officials were loungers.

Lin Yixuan took over the tasks assigned by her husband very cautiously, arranged them in a villa outside the city, and imitated her husband, brainwashing everyone every day, arousing their feelings of revenge.
The atmosphere in Dali became more and more tense, and there was no news of the rescuers. The officials began to pack their bags and fled privately with them in twos and threes.

This time he not only wanted to grab the governor's For credit, the governor must be wiped out, so that he can steal chickens and lose money. Such a selfish governor, what use is he.
Li Yaonan gathered the people and gave a loud and impassioned speech: "The Qiang people have already attacked Fengshan, killed, burned, and looted in Fengshan. When they collect enough food and gold and silver treasures, they will definitely attack Nanquan in the next battle. What about after Nanquan?" , have you thought about it?"
Li Yaonan looked at everyone with a serious expression, and without waiting for their reply, he continued: "Yes, it is Dali, they will definitely attack Dali, have you thought about what to do? Do you stand here and wait for death, or do you rely on meager strength? , wanting to resist the [-] Qiang army."
The people were at a loss and didn't know what to do. Lord Li taught them how to resist the enemy and how to save their lives. Isn't this useless?
"Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs, Nanquan is not guaranteed, how can Dali survive, I don't want what happened in Fengshan to happen again, I decided to take people to Nanquan in person, I swear, the city is alive, the city is dead , swear to the death to defend the people of Yunnan.”
"Okay! Master Li, I support you, and I want to do my best, so please lead me to go." Master Huang immediately shouted excitedly.
The corners of Li Yaonan's lips twitched, he was too lazy to look at him, and continued to stare at the people below: "Do you have any ideas? This officer's life and death in Nanquan are unpredictable, and I don't force everyone, but I will do my best to defend one homeland What about you? Do you want to go to battle to kill the enemy, do you want to take revenge, do you want to go with me to kill him, say it out loud."
"Thought—" Master Huang replied with a tearing voice, his emotions were uncontrollable, and he looked like he wanted to kill all the Qiang people in the world, a bit like a little angry youth.
Li Yaonan didn't want to see him at first, but Mr. Huang's agreement was not useless. His emotions infected others, and a young man from Fengshan stood up, with red eyes, and said loudly: "I want to go to battle to kill the enemy, I want to kill the enemy. Avenge my parents."
"I want to go too, I want to defend my homeland."
"And I."
Master Huang's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he raised his hand and shouted: "Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
Another person was full of pride and shouted loudly: "Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
"Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
The hearts of the people were surging, from panic, to bewilderment, to the current high fighting spirit. Suddenly, the shouts inside and outside the yamen shook the sky.
Satisfied in his heart, Li Yaonan said a few more high-sounding words, promising to live and die with everyone, and then he assigned an official to register the people who voluntarily went to Nanquan, and prepared to leave early the morning after tomorrow.
As for Mr. Huang, Li Yaonan had another mission, asking him to get food.
Master Huang was very excited, Master Li was finally willing to believe in him, and he swore that he would complete the task.
Li Yaonan nodded and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, expressing that everything depended on him.
Master Huang held his chest up and raised his head, with a serious look on his face, suddenly feeling the heavy responsibility on his body.
Li Yaonan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a way to deal with the mentally disabled, and her husband was also left in Dali by him, Lin Yixuan was full of dissatisfaction, but the husband had no connections in Dali, and the logistics could not be counted on by the government. If he did not stay in Dali, Dali If something goes wrong and the gain outweighs the loss, I can only agree to it reluctantly.
Li Yaonan was about to go to Nanquan, but Dali's officials went there overnight. Many people laughed at Li Yaonan's stupidity, but no one really admired him.
Li Yaonan was expressionless, no matter what their character was among the remaining officials, if they could stay and perform the duties of an official, Li Yaonan decided to trust them.
After explaining the matter in Dali clearly, Li Yaonan led 3000 troops to set off early the next morning, encouraging them all the way, and even giving them some tips on how to kill the enemy during the break.
When I came to Nanquan, there was desolation everywhere, the streets were in a mess, and there were still people looting and looting houses in broad daylight. The enemy army did not come, but the people were already in chaos.
Li Yaonan frowned, immediately revealed his identity, and wanted to see the magistrate of Nanquan County.
When the soldiers at the city gate saw them, they were overjoyed and left with desolation. They thought it was the arrival of rescue soldiers, but they turned out to be a team formed by a group of ordinary people.
The magistrate of Nanquan County came out to welcome him, his eyes were red from the heat, his hair was half gray in his forties: "Your Majesty, I have seen Master Li."
"Your Majesty Yang, you don't need to be too polite. How is the situation now?" Li Yaonan got off his horse and bowed his hands in return.
Master Yang smiled wryly, with deep exhaustion on his face: "The Qiang tribe attacked once last night, and it is not expected to be so fast today, so why did Master Li come here?"
Li Yaonan's righteousness is awe-inspiring: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. As an official of the imperial court, how can I ignore it."
Master Yang took a deep look at him: "Nanquan food can last for half a month, but the Qiang people's offensive is fierce, I'm afraid it won't last until tomorrow night."
Li Yaonan frowned, and said calmly: "Take me to take a look first, and besides, the people in the city should be comforted." Turning to look at Sun Ruisi: "You can handle this matter, remember to take some Fengshan people with you."
Sun Ruisi understood: "Yes, my lord." Only the people of Fengshan can make the people of Nanquan share the same hatred and unite them. The power of the people cannot be underestimated. One and a half days is not a problem.
Master Yang took the lead and led Li Yaonan up the city wall. The soldiers staggered to and fro and rested in the gaps.
Li Yaonan stood on the city wall, looking at the huge camp in the distance: "When do they usually attack?"
"Not necessarily, sometimes at night, sometimes at noon, there are five thousand guards in Nanquan, and now there are only more than three thousand guards left, I'm just afraid..." Master Yang said with tears in his eyes.
Li Yaonan spared no effort to smear the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and said calmly: "Lord Yang, there is no need to be like this. The brother-in-law of the next official is the capital of Yizhou. He will definitely come to rescue in a few days, and the Southeast Army will also arrive in a few days."
Lord Yang’s lips trembled, how could he not understand the meaning of Lord Li, the governor does not send troops, he can only ask for help from the Southeast Army, the people of Yunnan are also the people of the Jin Dynasty, why did it become like this, the governor is a disaster, the governor supports his own troops, even if there are people So what if he came to the rescue, he didn't know if Nanquan could last until then.
"It's definitely possible." Li Yaonan said firmly.
Master Yang didn't speak anymore, he knew that Master Li was a good official, but a good official doesn't mean that he can lead troops to fight, it doesn't mean that 3000 troops in the city can resist the enemy's [-] troops, and another [-] troops will come later Otherwise, he might not be able to hold on for two days.
Li Yaonan quickly began to make arrangements. Some of the soldiers on the city wall stayed behind and some went to rest. Only when they had enough energy could they kill the enemy, and the 3000 troops he brought just happened to replace the exhausted soldiers.
It's a pity that God doesn't give them any buffer time, and everything is not ready yet...
"Woo—" A horn sounded in the distance.
Master Yang's face changed: "The Qiang people are going to attack the city."
Li Yaonan didn't dare to be sloppy at all, turned his head to look at the three thousand people he had brought, and said loudly: "Look, those people are going to destroy our homeland, what do you say?" The deep and powerful voice was inspiring .
"Fight to the end." The people shouted loudly.
"Kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"Defend the homeland and drive away the Qiang people."
"Okay!" Li Yaonan smiled slightly, pointing to the faint black dots in the distance: "The Qiang people have already started to gather their troops, and they will attack soon. I hope that all the good guys in Yunnan will show me well."
"Yes!" The three thousand people have developed a habit these days, whenever Li Yaonan asks a question, they will definitely answer loudly.
"Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Killing one is enough money, killing two makes money, I'm not afraid."
"I'm not afraid either. My father and mother are dead, and I want revenge."
"I want to defend my homeland and my folks."
"Okay, now all the queues, stick to their posts."
"Yes!"
Following the loud and clear dialogue, the soldiers on the city gate seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and their expressions became more determined.
Master Yang was deeply admired, he was really ashamed of himself in the face of Master Li, a faint hope rose in his heart, with Master Li's help, could Nanquan be saved.
Li Yaonan's face was gloomy, and he calmly ordered: "Prepare me oil and spirits, the more the better, take them all to the city wall."
Master Yang was taken aback, why do you want those things.
Li Yaonan frowned: "Go quickly, Nanquan is your territory, send the things here quickly."
Master Yang didn't dare to delay, although he didn't understand what it meant, he thought that Master Li was a smart person and would never do useless work.
The dark Qiang army approached the city soon, Li Yaonan stared coldly ahead, and asked the soldiers beside him, "How long can we delay them?"
"A quarter of an hour at most."
Li Yaonan pondered for a moment: "Wait for now, after a while the spirits and oil will come, let me pour them all down, you should pay attention to attacking with fire."
The soldiers were puzzled, and some soldiers suddenly realized: "Oil is slippery, and wine is flammable."
A stern look flashed in Li Yaonan's eyes: "Let's spend time with them first, and go to the night raid tonight."
"Night attack——" The soldiers turned pale with shock, even the Qiang people's offensive could not be dealt with, Master Li actually wanted to attack at night.
Li Yaonan rubbed his temples and explained: "The best defense is to attack. It consumes their energy during the day and catches them by surprise at night."
The soldier's eyes lit up, and his whole body became energetic.
The Qiang people quickly attacked, and there was a lot of shouting and killing on the city wall. It was the first time Li Yaonan saw such a tragic scene. The shock in his heart was beyond words. One fell down, but there were no waves to rise.
The oil and spirits were delivered quickly, a cauldron was set up on the city wall, and the hot tung oil was poured down, causing screams from the enemy soldiers.
This battle lasted for a long time, and it was not until night that the Qiang people blew their drums and retreated.
"The enemy army has retreated, the enemy army has retreated." The soldiers shouted loudly and cheered excitedly.
This battle was not easy for them, but it was much better than the previous two days. After counting the number of people, only 320 people died.
Li Yaonan's heart trembled when he heard this, the soldiers' sad expressions were filled with smiles of survivors, this time very few people died, could they persevere until they survived.
